  • some of through holes 43D and 43E may be disposed at line-symmetrical portions about an axis of the accommodating portion 41D. Even with such a line-symmetrical arrangement, the extra length of the external sub-harness 60 can be absorbed without changing the length of the optional sub-harness 30 and the length of the external sub-harness 60 itself.
  • wire harness 1 according to embodiments of the present invention described above are briefly summarized in the following configurations [1] to [3].
  • the connector of the relay line can be held by the connector holding portion provided in each of the accommodating portions of the protector without changing a length of the relay line drawn out from the branch portion of the wire bundle. Therefore, for example, by selecting the connector holding portion that holds the connector of the relay line in accordance with an extra length of the sub-harness extending from an external device, an extra length of an external sub-harness can be appropriately absorbed without changing a length of the relay line or the external sub-harness. Therefore, the wire harness of the present configuration can appropriately absorb the extra length of the sub-harness at the time of routing without excessively increasing a type of the sub-harness.
